Why should you holiday in Mexico?

Mexico is home to one of the world’s largest cities, the cultural and historical treasures of the Maya and Aztec civilisations and picturesque beaches that will take your breath away. Here, you have the opportunity to experience colourful and vibrant culture, ancient history and stunning scenery in a beautiful union.

Choose a holiday in Mexico and enjoy the experience of a lifetime, whether you’re into culture, history or amazing outdoor experiences and legendary beaches.

What will you experience on our tours?

Mexico is very much the product of its historical background with the culture of the Maya and Aztec civilisations. History permeates much of Mexico’s biggest attractions and experiences.

Mexico also offers truly wonderful and diverse nature and fabulous beaches.

Mexico City

Mexico City is one of the world’s biggest cities – if not the biggest.

The city is built on top the ruins of the Aztecs’ ancient capital, Tenochtitlán, and you can feel this. In Mexico City, the Aztec ruins lie alongside the city skyscrapers, giving you a feel of the city and its historical background.

Mexico City is a melting pot of experiences, and it can be difficult to choose between all the different sights.

From the main square – the Zocalo – you have access to three of the city’s biggest attractions:

  • the National Palace (Palacio Nacional)
  • The famous Cathedral, Metropolitana, which is one of the world’s largest and oldest cathedrals
  • Templo Mayor, which are the ruins of the former Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan

Mexico also offers a vibrant nightlife with plenty of opportunities to dance, listen to music and eat delicious food, whether you’re into street food or gourmet cuisine.

The Yucatán Peninsula

The Yucatán peninsula is a place favoured by many for their holiday in Mexico, where you will find beautiful beaches and countless opportunities to head off on adventure, be it a beach holiday or a visit to some of the ancient, iconic sights

Chichen Itza

To the north of the Yucatan Peninsula, you will find Chichen Itza. The ruin city is one of the biggest tourist attractions in Mexico, if not the biggest. Chichen Itza is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and when you visit the city, you will understand why. The archaeological site testifies to the impressive community, which the Mayans managed to build some 1,500 years ago.

At Chichen Itza, you can see the famous 25-metre-high pyramid, El Castillo. El Castillo was named one of the world’s seven new wonders in 2007, and is well worth a visit.

Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is one of Mexico’s most popular beach holiday destinations.

Originally a fishing village, Playa del Carmen is best known today for its beautiful beach with crystal-clear waters that attracts travellers from all over the world.

The fabulous beach is not only conducive to both relaxation and swimming, but also to a host of water sports such as stand-up paddle boarding, windsurfing and jet skiing. Off Playa del Carmen is the island of Cozumel, which offers world-class underwater experiences for divers.

In the heart of the town is the lively Avenida 5, a shopping street lined with a large selection of shops, restaurants and cafés.

Tulum

Another popular beach holiday destination on the Yucatan Peninsula.

Tulum is smaller than Playa del Carmen and has a calmer, more bohemian feel to it. This manifests itself, among other things, in the fact that bicycles are a preferred means of transport – a distinctive characteristic of Tulum.

In addition to its beautiful sandy beach, azure waters and good snorkelling opportunities, Tulum also offers interesting sights. Visit, for example, the Tulum ruins, which were a trade centre between the 13th and 15th centuries, and the UNESCO-protected Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, which offers unique flora and fauna, including 300 different bird species.

Other highlights in Mexico

There is no shortage of amazing sights in Mexico. In addition to the above, you can also discover:

  • San Cristóbal de las Casas, one of the most beautiful and charming colonial cities in Mexico, located at an altitude of 2,100 metres.
  • With its 500+ cataracts large and small, the Cascadas de Agua Azul is one of the most unforgettable natural wonders in Mexico
  • Palenque, one of the largest Mayan cities, now surrounded by tropical rainforest and known for its indescribable beauty.

Combine Mexico and Guatemala

Two of our tours combine Mexico with a tour to Guatemala. Guatemala borders Mexico, making a trip to Guatemala an obvious choice.

The two tours take you, among other places, to:

  • The Tikal National Park, which was one of the most powerful kingdoms in Mayan times, is one of the largest Maya archaeological sites in Guatemala today.
  • The town of Panajachel, which is surrounded by volcanoes and Mayan villages and situated by one of the world’s most scenic lakes, Atitlán.
  • Antigua, the former capital, which is a cosy city with cobbled streets and colourful colonial buildings.

You visit the above sights on both Guatemala combinations.
